That scene uses a large sphere for the sky.  You will always get a 
visible line at the horizon in such a scene unless the sky and the 
ground plane have the same color.  The radius of the sphere will not 
change that.  Note that in this sample scene the sky and the ground do 
in fact have the same color at the horizon if the light source is turned 
off.
